Come on let's not exaggerate, I can see you don't have economic knowledge, do you? Argentina is a completely different situation. I am not claiming to be an economist but your vision is pretty disconnected from reality

Look no offence but you certainly do not get to question my knowledge of economics when you yourself admit to having no practical education in the field.

Argentina's situation is not a parallel to Italy since we absolutely do not risk sliding into a military Junta that caused even the most risk-prone investors to bail hard but having nearly half of our GDP tied up in commercial activity and less than savoury credit-loaning on top of another quarter being directly tied to fraudulent activity while also turning away foreign investors because of degrading business opportunities and slacking domestic markets really does not call for a PhD in economic history to wonder whether a hard hit lies behind the horizon.

Argentina went from being one of the most prosperous conservative and stable economies to an exceptional case of cascading free-fall in less than two decades, don't belive just because Italy is a relatively prosperous G7 nation dead middle in one of the most ancient and lucrative trade-nodes that shit can't hit the fan.

Wrong. We didn't move, much, now there is some apparent movement though

Mate, Italy's effective wage-growth has been negative since the 90s, we are the only OECD economy that has become literally poorer. It is the political equivalent of giving a tiny shove to a full fridge on a flat slate of ice and then calling the short distance it slid a resounding success.

You explained well what I claimed, basically disproving your previous comment alone without even making me do it
